This is a topic near and dear to me: the problem: 2022: https://www.bakerinstitute.org/media/files/files/3fb2c64b/bi... 1. U.S. population growth has been slowing for years, and in 2021, the population g

To be clear, its the best comment because "...it has always been big sibling" These approaches have a way of wiping the past clean off the slate. There's no problem with the words 'big sibling' - I, as a big sister,

Totally agree! Yet I feel like netflix is continuously gutting its recommendation ability. -First the intersectional genres became harder to find, or create. -Then the reviews were wiped. -Then you see the same content you actually watched

I hear you on 'always' and say - while strenuously protesting that I am not a luddite - that many jobs required apprenticeship. Some in the US still do and in places like Japan its a requirement. In France you can still make a liv

Hah okay: thats a fair point and I googled this just for you - and for future me. Marks & Spencer introduced them in 1970 in the UK (1) It's true there was a survey of consumers and folks favored them, but I will refrain from posti

What is the 'minimum' when every single corporation is working to de-skill jobs so that they can cut wages, limit onboarding etc. We all work on or adjacent to embedded software for robots to replace people in these jobs so that t

@Aerosmile I dont know that you need to look at Austria. You can just look at America over time. Mobility is getting harder and there's no real need to pretend it isn't

I've thought a lot about this, esp as someone who was born here and whose parents immigrated here for the American Dream. They've done great. We lived in a rural area. It was possible because one of them came highly skilled and so

Small businesses are not usually hiring union busters for multiple hundreds/hour. We could discuss this within for example the restaurant industry, and that could be interesting but AMZ does not fit the 'no generational wealth, ju

Yup, got that. Female teenagers are way less likely to have wrecks (1) and if we assume its not driven by one's genitalia and rather by their conditioning - an assumption I hold, its something that can be taught. "In 2019, the mot

Was it an "if" in yours when you were a teenager? There are lots of strong statistical differences that are visible in the teenage population and trickle their way into insurance tables. Basically we could do a better job engender

Fully agree! Thanks for including your own privacy policy. We're starting our own effort and our top line was "we won't make data or the user the product" and were trying to structure something as simple as your policy.

Thanks :) that is in fact my point! https://hbr.org/2016/04/if-theres-only-one-woman-in-your-can... There are more CEOs of large U.S. companies who are named David (4.5%) than there are CEOs who are women (4.1%) —

Thats a wonderful thing but I think you know its quite rare. Influencing is nothing new though the medium change has allowed for a preponderance of people to become influencers to smaller and smaller networks, we've always relied on pr

Where did the data underlying that point come from? There are organized rings of burglary and they come and go over time. Off the top of my head I can think of three or four that I personally have been exposed to including of course the one

Agreed, and that cheap chinese wheat would be a massive problem for US hegemony on which many, many things in the US and adjacent economies rest.

Agree. If the options are: - kill more people to end the war and return wheat supply - send more people to potentially die while killing more people to end the war and return the wheat supply - or pay more to get wheat to where it needs to

In fairness wouldn't this be controlled by simply providing more information about the consumable amount or creating lower dose edibles? It feels like these anecdotes, while very real, would equate to an unfathomable amount of smoking

I suppose myopically I'm not sure thats how I see our 2 party system. I do see two dying parties unwilling to rejuvenate leadership in the fear that it will lead to additional (and I do mean additional ) socialist tenants being infuse
